Usage

A dropdown menu that displays a list of actionable items in a popup triggered by a button. Use to present action options as a next step in a process, or to offer contextual actions without cluttering the interface.

Best practices

GuidancePractices
DoKeep menu items concise and action-oriented so users can scan options quickly.
DoUse sections and dividers to group related actions when the menu has many items.
Don'tUse a DropdownMenu for navigation — use a navigation component instead.
Don'tPlace more than 10–12 items in a single menu without grouping them into sections.
